<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong> <strong><strong>Rail</strong>way</strong> (<strong>Images</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rail</strong>) (Marilyn E. Dufresne) The <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong> <strong><strong>Rail</strong>way</strong> has a gr<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> glorious history that began in the coal mines <strong>of</strong> Pennsylvania. The <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong> Canal; Gravity <strong>Rail</strong>road; the Stourbridge Lion, the first locomotive in America in 1829; <strong>and</strong> the Albany <strong>and</strong> Susquehanna <strong>Rail</strong>road provided the necessary stepping stones for successfully transporting anthracite by rail to New York State. In 1906, the massive roundhouse was built in Oneonta during the glory days <strong>of</strong> steam power, <strong>and</strong> in 1931 the company became known as the <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong> <strong><strong>Rail</strong>way</strong>. Today the railroad serves as a “bridge line,?? providing an important link in moving heavy freight. <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong> <strong><strong>Rail</strong>way</strong> enlightens rail fans with historic photographs <strong>and</strong> rekindles the nostalgia for the great railroad era.<br />
